Fourth Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Workshop in Sustainable Development

The students of the Columbia Sustainable Development Ph.D. program have put out the call for papers for the Fourth Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Workshop in Sustainable Development. It's a great opportunity for Ph.D. students to meet colleagues from a broad array of disciplines, and a bunch of our younger colleagues will be there. Please pass it along.

Fourth Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Workshop in Sustainable DevelopmentApril 25th-26th, 2014: Columbia University in the City of New York, USA

The graduate students in the Sustainable Development PhD program at Columbia University are convening the Fourth Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Workshop in Sustainable Development (IPWSD); scheduled for April 25th-26th, 2014, at Columbia University in New York City.

The IPWSD is a conference open to graduate students working on or interested in issues related to sustainable development. It is intended to provide a forum to present and discuss research in an informal setting, as well as to meet and interact with similar graduate student researchers from other institutions. In particular, we hope to facilitate a network among students pursuing in-depth research across a range of disciplines in the social and natural sciences, to generate a larger interdisciplinary discussion concerning sustainable development. If your research pertains to the field of sustainable development and the linkages between natural and social systems, we encourage you to apply regardless of disciplinary background.

For details, please see the call for papers, or visit our conference websitewhere a detailed list of topics, conference themes and other information is available.

Please share this information widely with graduate students and other interested parties. We look forward to seeing you in New York City in April!
